The Effect of Vibrissae on Subjective and Objective Measures of Nasal Obstruction
Nasal obstruction is a common complaint prompting presentation to an otolaryngologist. Many
studies have been performed quantifying and describing the impact of a number of factors on
symptoms of nasal obstruction, including anatomical, neoplastic, infectious, and
inflammatory causes. Despite this scrutiny, no attention has been paid to the nasal
vibrissae as a potential anatomical contributor to nasal obstruction. The proposed study
intends to elucidate that contribution, if any exists.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Presence of nasal vibrissae
- Able to tolerate rhinomanometry
Exclusion Criteria:
- Anatomical or other obvious cause of obstruction
- Claustrophobia with rhinomanometry mask
